Notes
- If par cooking your own lobster for freezing and using later, don't cook them all the way through, that way it won't overcook when reheating.
- If using store bought, precooked lobster, just briefly warm it so that it doesn't overcook and become tough.
- To make homemade mayonnaise (aioli).
- Store any leftover lobster filling refrigerate about 3 days.
- Suggested toppings
- We like to keep it simple with lobster tacos and just use lettuce and tomato so that the flavor of the lobster shines but other toppings can work as well.
- lettuce
- tomatoes
- cheese
- avocado
- black olives
- candied jalapenos
- pickled red onion
- sour cream or Mexican creme
- your favorite salsa
